Though the owner vows she didn’t drug the dog, she likely won’t get the pet back.

The dog was a gift to Arlene Saiz from her friend. Saiz said the dog was acting strange recently -- falling down and unable to keep her balance.

She took Maddie to the vet Tuesday.

“The lady said, ‘She has marijuana in her system,’” said Saiz. “She says, ‘OK, now we have a situation. She now has high amounts of cocaine in her system.’ And I was like, ‘How is that possible?’ I didn't know what to do.”

The city is caring for the dog, which has since suffered from seizures and an infection. City officials said Saiz surrendered her rights to the animal because she couldn’t pay for its treatment. Saiz said she was distraught and was advised signing was the only way to keep the dog alive.

“I want her back because my daughter is devastated,” she said.

The city said it’s too late. It also said Maddie wasn’t licensed or spayed.

If it meant getting her dog back, Saiz said she would do a drug test if she had to. Saiz said she suspects someone tampered with Maddie’s food in the backyard.

Since the dog was taken, investigators came to Saiz's house to check on the welfare of her daughter. Saiz said the incident is making her look like a bad person.

She won’t be charged.

Maddie is going to be OK.

The city said the dog will either be handed over to a rescue agency or put into the adoption program. The city that when Saiz signed the waver, it meant Saiz can’t adopt from the city for a year, and that can’t be reversed.
